Quantum key distribution by comparing Bell states

We propose a quantum key distribution (QKD) scheme based on entanglement swapping. In this scheme, the methods to form secret keys are so interesting. By comparing initial Bell state and outcome of entanglement swapping, the secret keys between Alice and Bob are generated involuntarily.
